"We thank William Hill for their continued backing," said PDC chairman Barry Hearn. "The William Hill Grand Slam of Darts was a huge success and it's great to welcome them as the official betting partners of the McCoy's Premier League Darts."
 
“We’re proud to become the official betting partners of the McCoy’s Premier League," said Kristof Fahy, chief marketing officer at William Hill.  "Darts is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and we’re really excited to be associated with this fifteen night sporting extravaganza.”
